The numbers told the story they always do.

Those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander on VISA. Hour number three of a numbers game at VISA, the SportsBetting Network, VISA.com, Game Plus, Ihard Radio, YouTube TV, and of course, Sirius XM Channel 158, it's Gil Alexander. And if you're wondering, why is Gil looking down and punch it into his telephone? because Todd Wischnev is here

and right at the top of the hour.

Todd Wischner is here. It's Gil Alexander. And if you're wondering, why is Gil looking down and punch it into his telephone?

Because Todd Wischnev is here and right at the top of the hour. Todd Wishnev, bringing his Discord channel to life. You have a play for everybody right now? Yes, over 79.5. First half, minus 1.30 La Salleys saying, Bada Venture. Okay, you can't do the whole hour in that voice. Unfortunately, I can't change my voice back from the announcer voice to the regular voice.

Okay.

What he said was over 79.5. Play right now. It's the break. It's the eight minute break. The immediate timeout. Over 79 and a half minus 1.30. First half, LaSalle. Over 79.5. First half, LaSalle and St. Bonaventure right now. Over 79.5. Over 79. 1⁄2. First half. Go. Typically, I don't play this kind of game over because there's not enough fouls. However, we've got such a lightning fast pace in this game. They're just running up and down. So I was just like, I felt like I have to do it. It's only 24 more points, 23 and a half more points in the seven minutes and 30 seconds in a game where they're just running up and down. Not a lot of turnovers. They're putting the ball in the bucket. All right. You got to be quick, obviously, because the game will resume here in short time. So again, over 79.5, first half, St. Bonnie and LaSalle. Now, do we have foul, do we have foul shots coming in back from commercial? No, we do not. Okay. It's always important to know this. And I try to, like, the people who sit with me typically at the rivers every day, I'm always like, okay, guys, watch this game right here and tell me when they go to the commercial.

Are they going to be shooting free throws coming out? That's right. Because that's always important to note because, you know, and obviously sometimes it's in the number. Sometimes it's not. Some of these books, they get a little, you know, they're not paying attention perfectly.

Right. And, you know, you can get scenarios where you have, you know, you're going to get free throws and they may not know. Now, we didn't, by the way, for those who are wondering, this is Todd Wischnev, at T. Wishnev on Twitter. The star of Wishnev Wednesdays, the star of the Megapod, the beating the book feed, where we'll do a March Madness podcast with he, Will Hill, and I next week. Maybe Jeff Parley will try to get back the old band back together for a little March Madness pod. But Todd, for those who don't know him, and we did not, by the way, we had no idea that we were going to start this hour with a play, but that's just how the cookie crumbled on LaSalle and St. Bonaventure. Todd has a Discord channel, which we've been talking about all year long here on the show. How many units up on the year are you? We just hit a new

high watermark yesterday, up 166.91 units. I'm currently 1,053 wins and 746 losses in 1799 plays. That's 58.5% on an average buy of minus 119.

Now, when there's this is, now I'll say it again. If I hadn't watched this happen with my own eyes from the beginning of the season, I probably would not have believed it either. But as those on the Discord channel know, as I know, it all happened. Yeah, it's a phenomenal record. And here is play number one of the day. We're going to have a couple other tip-offs here that are just going to happen right now. So who knows, we might have other in-game plays. Maybe not, though. If the circumstances don't dictate, then we won't have other in game plays here for the rest of the hour, but we got one already in. And this is the thing. If you had to describe now, Todd's going to try to do this thing next to me where he's going to watch the game behind the screen.

That's why I'm angled.

If you're wondering why he's at this strange angle while he's on the air, he's going to

pull the microphone with him.

So just give a sense if you could.

You sort of touched on it there.

What are the things?

I know you've talked about this before,

but for those listening for the first time. Oh, Mr. Bonnie, come on. What are some of the things you look at when determining these? So this game, for instance, this St. Bonner Venture game, I believe the pregame was 146. Microphone. We have to talk into the microphone here, folks. Anyways, I believe this St. Bonaventure game was a 146-ish around first half.

I mean, a total game, which is basically not that high scoring anymore because you got a lot of games that are really, really high scoring.

And, you know, you would think, they would think that they're not going to play at a breakneck pace,

but yet they were for the first 12 and a half minutes of this half, they had about 23 possessions
